Ingredients
- 1 can (8 count) refrigerated biscuits (such as Pillsbury)
1 can (15 oz) peach pie filling
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Prepare the peach filling: Open the can of peach pie filling and mash the peaches into smaller pieces if desired. Add cinnamon and vanilla extract for extra flavor, if preferred. Set aside.
- Prepare the biscuits: Open the can of biscuits and separate them. Use a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit to about 1/4 inch thickness. Be gentle to avoid tearing the dough.
- Once flattened, spoon 1-2 tablespoons of peach filling into the center of each biscuit.
- Seal the pies: Fold each biscuit in half over the peach filling, creating a half-moon shape. Use a fork to press down the edges to seal the pie, ensuring there are no gaps.
- Heat the oil: Pour enough vegetable oil into a large frying pan or skillet to cover the bottom of the pan (about 1-2 inches deep). Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
- Fry the pies: Carefully place the sealed pies into the hot oil, frying them for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn the pies and ensure even frying. Remove from the oil and drain excess oil on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Serve: Let the pies cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
Notes
- For variations, try using other canned fruit fillings like apple, cherry, or blueberry.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top of the pies once they’re fried.
- If you prefer a homemade filling, cook fresh peaches with sugar and cornstarch to thicken it.
- For a sweeter treat, drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce over the fried pies.
